Wow. He's been doing Around The Horn for 10 years? Time flies. He is a much better host than the original host Max Kellerman who openly cheated for Bob Ryan all the time. I don't see it as a big loss for PTI though. ESPN is probably full of personable, young stat heads who can fill 30 seconds of air time.

As long as he stays on ATH I'll be happy. I was (and am) a big of Kellerman and was disappointed when Reali took over but I was proven wrong. He's been better than Kellerman at this particular gig. Kellerman remains great at boxing analysis.

As for openly cheating, this isn't a game show with prizes. Reali "cheats" in favor of the Woodman and Jackie MacMullan.

Will miss him on PTI, particularly hosting the "game" segment (e.g. Oddsmakers, What's the Word), but PTI is all about Tony (K) and Mike. As long as they continue doing 80+% of shows it will be must see TV for me.

ATH I watch probably twice a week, and have always liked Reali (better than Kellerman, who for some reason never worked for me there) with his sense of humor and knowledge, and willingness to call any of them out (in a fun way). Glad he will continue in that capacity.

Have seen people thrive and fail making the transition from sports to mainstream -- hope he does well, as I enjoy watching him, and seems like a good guy...

What constantly amazes me about Reali is not his encyclopedic knowledge of sports stats and factoids but his knowledge of pop culture, both current and older. He can be almost as meta as Community at times but with a sports twist.

Reali is what fans expect a sports writer/broadcaster would be since many fans are closer to him than to most of the fools who seem to have zero knowledge at all but have jobs.
